He doesn't want something very expensive. The Savage is $430 USD. That's a lot. The Nitro Stampede is durable, fast, and easy! It was $279.99 USD+tax. Then about $90 more for the nitro, battery for starter, quick charger, and a few more things.

where you live has nothing to do with the life of the motor. its how hard you run it and how often you run it. like i could go thruogh amotor in like a gallon if i was to run it super hard

I didn't mean it as where, Its just how many months are good for driving in. April through october and some november is good for driving. If you drive in the winter its not good for it. It makes plastic brittle when cold and I'm thinking it might wear out the motor faster

oh the motor will be fine as long as you put a cold style clow plug in for the cold weather, thats what the cold and hot is for in the glow plugs, for those of you who dont know, its for what kind of temperature your running your motor in. and as a side note i will say this the temp doesnt matter just as long as you can drive well and not hit things your good to go

Trust me. You get what you pay for. You'll end up getting nowhere cheaping out on a kit. You may end up spending a boatload of money just trying to get that thing running 'decent' enough to keep up with the 'name-brand' nitros.
Actually there are several people around here that have the RedCat version of that truck and they have not had any problems with them.

Most engines will last about 4 -5 gal before having to be rebuilt or replaced regardless of where you live.

The key to long engine life is proper maintenance and proper tuning.
